Problem with custom theme (JSON)
Hi
I am Using JSON file for custom theme .
i already created 120 pages and i want to use this Custom theme for those 120 Pages.
When i import Json file ,its importing but not reflecting with Theme colors mentioned in custom Theme until i go each visual ->setting>->Color-> click on "Revert to Default"
As i have 120 pages its diffuicult for me to goto each visual of the page.
Any Guidance will be Great
What I mean is, sometimes when Power BI updates happen, the structure of the JSON for the theming can change. If your custom theme doesn't match the new structure, you can run into these issues.
See gif below explaining what I mean about saving a built in theme.
You can now visually compare your custom theme JSON with the one saved.
See if there's anything obvious missing etc.
Here's the JSON from the theme in the gif...
{ "name": "Innovate", "dataColors": [ "#70B0E0", "#FCB714", "#2878BD", "#0EB194", "#108372", "#AF916D", "#C4B07B", "#F15628", "#6F9EDB", "#FEE266", "#5DA9FD", "#4AC5BB", "#35B895", "#B69087", "#B6A887", "#F48459", "#1D5C95", "#BDA750", "#4A82BB", "#168980", "#288A6F", "#A67668", "#7B6E4F", "#B54C25", "#164672", "#7E6F36", "#31567D", "#0F5C55", "#0D2E25", "#7B594F", "#524934", "#793418" ], "foreground": "#FFFFFF", "foregroundNeutralSecondary": "#D2D0CE", "foregroundNeutralTertiary": "#979593", "background": "#3a3a3a", "backgroundLight": "#3B3A39", "backgroundNeutral": "#605E5C", "tableAccent": "#2878BD", "maximum": "#2878BD", "center": "#FCB714", "minimum": "#D0E4F5", "hyperlink": "#2878BD", "visitedHyperlink": "#D0E4F5", "textClasses": { "callout": { "fontFace": "Arial", "color": "#FFFFFF" }, "title": { "fontFace": "Arial", "color": "#FFFFFF" }, "header": { "fontFace": "Arial", "color": "#FFFFFF" }, "label": { "fontFace": "Arial", "color": "#FFFFFF" } }, "visualStyles": { "*": { "*": { "background": [ { "color": { "solid": { "color": "#3a3a3a" } } } ], "visualHeader": [ { "foreground": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } }, "border": { "solid": { "color": "#3a3a3a" } }, "background": { "solid": { "color": "#3a3a3a" } } } ], "outspacePane": [ { "backgroundColor": { "solid": { "color": "#3a3a3a" } }, "foregroundColor": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } }, "transparency": 0, "border": true, "borderColor": { "solid": { "color": "#979593" } } } ], "filterCard": [ { "$id": "Applied", "transparency": 0, "foregroundColor": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } }, "backgroundColor": { "solid": { "color": "#605E5C" } }, "inputBoxColor": { "solid": { "color": "#605E5C" } }, "borderColor": { "solid": { "color": "#979593" } }, "border": true }, { "$id": "Available", "transparency": 0, "foregroundColor": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } }, "backgroundColor": { "solid": { "color": "#3a3a3a" } }, "inputBoxColor": { "solid": { "color": "#3a3a3a" } }, "borderColor": { "solid": { "color": "#979593" } }, "border": true } ] } }, "slicer": { "*": { "items": [ { "background": { "solid": { "color": "#3a3a3a" } } } ], "numericInputStyle": [ { "background": { "solid": { "color": "#3a3a3a" } } } ] } }, "keyDriversVisual": { "*": { "keyInfluencersVisual": [ { "canvasColor": { "solid": { "color": "#3B3A39" } } } ] } }, "page": { "*": { "outspace": [ { "color": { "solid": { "color": "#3a3a3a" } } } ], "background": [ { "transparency": 0 } ] } } } }If this doesn't work, you may just have to load your theme and then go into the 'Customize current theme' and change things one by one but at least that will work across all visuals in the report.

I had similar issues a while back. The JSON structure has been known to change from time to time with updates.
I fixed my issue by changing to one of the built in themes, downloading the JSON and then applying that structure to my current theme.
Hopefully this could help in your situation also.
KNP - can you please elaborate in detail
